Authorities are seeking the public’s help identifying a man they say robbed a bank in Fort Worth earlier this month.
According to Melinda Urbina Garcia, a spokeswoman for the FBI Dallas office, the robbery occurred about 1:15 p.m. on Sept. 4 at a Chase bank branch at 4225 North Tarrant Parkway. Urbina Garcia said the suspect was armed with fireworks and attempted to ignite them during the robbery.
The man demanded money, and “successfully obtained an undisclosed amount of U.S. currency,” Urbina Garcia wrote in a news release. He also demanded a Chase employee’s vehicle key, but didn’t get it.
The suspect then unsuccessfully attempted to steal another vehicle key from a female at a nearby business before leaving the area, Urbina Garcia said.
